Abstract
Background
Pancreaticoduodenectomy is associated with high morbidity, with pancreatic fistulas and hemorrhages being the most dangerous complications. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy of arterial and anastomotic wrapping in pancreaticoduodenectomy.
Methods
We searched PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Central from inception to February 2024 for studies comparing omental or ligament flaps for arterial or pancreaticojejunostomy coverage in pancreaticoduodenectomies, evaluating common postoperative complications. Odds ratio (OR) was used for categorical variables and mean difference (MD) for continuous variables. We considered as significant p-values < 0.05.
Results
We included 15 studies, comprising 3232 patients. The intervention successfully reduced the rates of postpancreatectomy hemorrhage (OR 0.47; p < 0.001), with an additional reduction in postoperative pancreatic fistula when considering the use of omental wrapping (OR 0.48; p = 0.002). Delayed gastric emptying was not associated with a reduction when using the wrapping technique (OR 0.69; p = 0.06).
Conclusion
Our findings showed that the wrapping technique decreased the rate of major complications associated with pancreaticoduodenectomy without increasing operative time or reoperation rates.
期刊介绍:
HPB is an international forum for clinical, scientific and educational communication.
Twelve issues a year bring the reader leading articles, expert reviews, original articles, images, editorials, and reader correspondence encompassing all aspects of benign and malignant hepatobiliary disease and its management. HPB features relevant aspects of clinical and translational research and practice.
Specific areas of interest include HPB diseases encountered globally by clinical practitioners in this specialist field of gastrointestinal surgery. The journal addresses the challenges faced in the management of cancer involving the liver, biliary system and pancreas. While surgical oncology represents a large part of HPB practice, submission of manuscripts relating to liver and pancreas transplantation, the treatment of benign conditions such as acute and chronic pancreatitis, and those relating to hepatobiliary infection and inflammation are also welcomed. There will be a focus on developing a multidisciplinary approach to diagnosis and treatment with endoscopic and laparoscopic approaches, radiological interventions and surgical techniques being strongly represented. HPB welcomes submission of manuscripts in all these areas and in scientific focused research that has clear clinical relevance to HPB surgical practice.
HPB aims to help its readers - surgeons, physicians, radiologists and basic scientists - to develop their knowledge and practice. HPB will be of interest to specialists involved in the management of hepatobiliary and pancreatic disease however will also inform those working in related fields.
